《I Took My Harp to a Party》歌词

[00:00:00] I Took My Harp to a Party - Billy Cotton/Max Abrams/Ambrose & His Orchestra

[00:00:09] Christmas is coming Christmas is coming

[00:00:12] Christmas is coming again

[00:00:15] But that never thrills me

[00:00:17] The thought of it chills me

[00:00:18] I tell you it fills me with pain

[00:00:21] It makes me remember a Christmas gone by

[00:00:24] When I was extremely upset

[00:00:27] A night in December an evening that I

[00:00:30] Would very much rather forget

[00:00:33] For I took me harp to a party

[00:00:36] But nobody asked me to play

[00:00:39] The others were jolly and earty

[00:00:43] But I wasn't feeling so gay

[00:00:46] They might have said play us a tune we can sing

[00:00:49] But somehow I don't think they noticed the thing

[00:00:52] I took me harp to a party

[00:00:55] But nobody asked me to play

[00:00:57] So I took the darned thing away

[00:01:34] They asked Mrs Morgan to play her mouth-organ

[00:01:37] And somebody else did a dance

[00:01:40] They let Mrs Carter perform a sonata

[00:01:42] But I wasn't given a chance

[00:01:46] A north country person called Sandy McPherson

[00:01:49] Played bagpipes and took off his coat

[00:01:52] While both the Miss Fawcetts bust

[00:01:54] Out of their corsets

[00:01:55] In trying to take a top note

[00:01:58] They sang home sweet home

[00:02:00] And The Banks of loch lomond

[00:02:01] And All the king's horses then trees

[00:02:04] While nephews and nieces kept playing their pieces

[00:02:07] And spreading their jam on the keys

[00:02:10] A daughter called Lena played her concertina

[00:02:13] We all played ridiculous games

[00:02:17] Til old Mr Dyer set his whiskers on fire

[00:02:19] And a fire engine played on the flames
